Personal Narrative: I Am Afraid Of Falling

Decent Essays
“You are not afraid of heights, you are afraid of falling.” This means no matter how tall it is you are going to be afraid to fall. I am afraid of tall rides but what really scares me is falling.
I am afraid of heights. They are my biggest fear. I hate roller coasters; they go so fast and move side to side and up and down. I remember the first time I got on a roller coaster, it was with my dad. At the moment it seemed really fun and attempting. My dad and I got on and buckled up, it starting going slow and I thought it wasn’t so bad. Until, when started going up and the speed started to increase, the insides of my body were shaking.

    Sit back, buckle up, and get ready to scream because I love roller coasters. My family and I go to Cedar Point about every month in the summer, and my dad and I go and ride everything in the park. It is just so fun! The one thing I really like about roller coasters is that there are little rides for the youth kids also. My least favorite thing is when I am not tall enough to enjoy a ride, which doesn’t really occur anymore.…

    1. I dislocated my kneecap one day at my old school. It was lunchtime, and the crowded cafeteria was full of noisy teenagers. I was sitting at one of the small round tables at the far end of the room with my friend Cheyenne.

    It was the largest, most thrilling roller coaster yet to be found. I didn't believe it but knowing my best friend Prisa she was not gonna let me miss out on as she would always say, “once in a lifetime opportunities”. It was a hot, sunny day as the sun lit up the whole park. The blunt air had no wind or even a soft gentle breeze. It was just plain old humid and to add on to that, we were crowded with a solid 200 people in the line,…

    “The fear of falling apart”, “Words are knives and often leave scars”, and “Don’t try to sleep through the end of the world and bury me alive. Cause’ I won’t give up without a fight” by Panic! At The Disco from their song This is Gospel is very important to me because it’s like saying no matter how hard you push and pull on me I won’t give up and that’s really encouraging to me. The way I can apply it to my life is I was bullied, cursed at, and yelled at all throughout middle school by other students and no matter how hard I wanted to give up and just crawl into bed and say “No, go away.”…

    “Please, make it stop,” I pleaded, but the cloaked figure did nothing more than toss his head back and cackle in response. With my hands still covering my ears, I said, “I beg their forgiveness, I –” Before I had the chance to continue, a disembodied hand reached down from above and dragged me up, away from the mist and up through the treetops. It pulled me through a body of water, and I was choking. My heart raced and my lungs burned with the effort of holding my breath.…

    However, just as I said this the spiritless roller coaster attendant strapped me in permanently ensuring I couldn’t back out. After the attendants strapped everyone in, they did their whole spiel on how we were going to have a great time, but the words muddled in my mind as I was more focused on breathing. The car moved onward and screeched at us as if in warning. Then suddenly the car stopped, I’m pretty sure just to spite us.…
